I thought this video was rather interesting, because at 12:27, the presenter crunches the numbers to find out how many years it would take for a new computer purchase to be more environmentally friendly (in regards to total CO2 expended) compared to using a less efficient used model....
From what I heard, it’s best to only get a new EV when you have to get a new car anyway. There’s also the option of getting a used EV but that market is still rather small.
I hope GTK and GNOME (or is GTK part of GNOME?) adopt this, I didn’t even know just how bad the inefficiency with todays cursors is. Having a single svg for each cursor and rendering it server-side makes so much more sense.
I’m going to finish school soon and I want to drive a car when I have a job and can afford it. I’ve used public transportation for the past 3 years and will probably still use it in the future when it’s not too inconvenient but a 30 min drive to work taking 1 hour instead, where I spend 30 minutes just waiting, sucks. This weekend I drove to a friend. It would have taken 30 minutes by car but it took me 2 hours with public transport because I had to wait a total of 1 hour and 15 minutes. The issue isn’t public transportation itself but that the government was trying to save as much money as possible and it is getting better with the new government but there is still so much to do and it will take time.
Monero actually has very good uses. It does use POW but their algorithm is made to encourage using CPUs instead of GPUs and slower, power efficient devices, which makes it a lot less energy intensive than other POW cryptocurrencies.
I think this makes sense. I still need X11 for VR because GNOME still doesn’t have display leasing on Wayland but once that gets implemented I won’t be using X11 anymore. I think most people don’t need X11 anymore either. For people like me who still need it for specific things, it can just be installed again manually.
I mean, we do still have a lot of politicians saying that it’s super dangerous. Söder is a good example, always saying how bad it is and that he doesn’t want drugs for Germany. He also drinks beer all the time btw. His party (CDU/CSU), who have been in power for the last 16 (or something) years before the current government also said the first thing they’re going to do when they’re back in power is make it illegal again.
Another thing is that Germany’s parliament is made up of all parties that got over 5% of votes and they get seats based on the percentage of votes they got. That means that you also have parties like the CDU/CSU and AFD there who do everything they can to block the legalization and that also contributes to making it more restricted and complicated.
The latency is insanely low on Pipewire, which is important for rythm games like osu!, that’s why I originally switched to it. It’s also really cool how it’s compatible with all other audio backends as well.
Just wanted to say that “GPT” is a general term and not just a name. OpenAI tried to trademark it but couldn’t because of that. It’s as if Nintendo was trying to trademark the word “Kart” because of “Mario Kart”.
I created a google takeout and in that zip file I found some files containing a ton of data about me. It has logged every single page I visited while using the google search engine and chrome browser. It even logged every single time I opened an app on my old android phone. It even has VOICE RECORDINGS of me and a log of every...
Idk about that. What data could they get with that, that they can’t already get through other (cheaper) means, that would justify all the network traffic and storage space?
Have the same issue on one of my accounts. I can login but when I try to do anything, I need to verify by getting a code over SMS. The thing is, the phone number on that account is an old one I don’t have access to anymore. There is no other verification option, I can’t delete it from my account without verification and I’m definitely not adding my actual number.
Was it that Asian women who did mukbangs where she was eating live sea animals? She didn’t just eat them alive, she was actually torturing them. Stuff like taking the “outer layer” off of them (multiple ones at the same time), dipping them in sauce and then just letting them sit. She was also laughing about it. Made me so angry watching that.
I'm increasingly unhappy with the limits on AI text generation and I have heard that it's not that hard to do it on a laptop oneself. What is the best path forward?
I saw Generative AI for Beginners from Microsoft on GitHub. I’ve looked at fmhy.pages.dev/ai but I’m not sure what I’m really looking for....

Trying to translate video audio if that matters. Tried Deepl on my phone held up to the speaker but it doesn’t register for some reason.
